NC-NET Special Course

Adjunct Faculty “Jumpstart”

Designed for new faculty with minimal background in education theory and application,
adjunct instructors are encouraged to take part in this exploratory and reflective experience designed
around the resources offered in the NC-NET’s Adjunct Faculty Toolkit. The three-week
“Jumpstart”course provides a guided exploration of the Toolkit’s collection of resources on
topics important to teaching at the college level, including helpful links containing examples
and implementation tips, expert advice, journal articles, and supporting evidence of best
teaching practices. Opportunities for reflection and colleague interaction will be available
through a weekly discussion board prompt.

>>This is a three week long, scheduled, modular professional development opportunity;
completers will earn a certificate.
